We met at university in Falmouth whilst taking pretty photographs and drawing pretty drawings. We were united by our love of cornish pasties and lack of success with women, so we started making music in the hope of getting some.
Hit le Floor live at Marrs Bar in worcester 23/10/08
We are also massive fans of this man and Tall Ships would simply not exist without his divine guidance and inspiration; he is the light that guides us.
We are all also egotistical, filthy, showy whores who desperately crave attention so if you want us to play anywhere or anything give us an email and we will do. Much love TS x x x
A Review from the fitties that are TUBELORD
The gig was so fun. I'll lay that down. All the bands were fat, many props to tall ships, as it was their first gig, and frankly they were dancier than a room full of post-strobe epileptics (can I say that?). Okay, dancier than a field full of amphetamine monkeys. No, dancier than….4? Oh fuck it. 26 was always dancier.
Review from a gig at the brixton windmill
TallShips, on later, are a band that elude any form of single recognised classification for music. Exhibiting elements of post rock, electronica, math and some residual jubilance throughout, the Falmouth trio, conversely, appear completely placated in their ambiguity, resigned to entertain each facet both methodically and simultaneously. What we hear, therefore, is a fervent conflict between the intricacies of a number of their facets and the unfettered vigour of the others. Flitting, innocent guitars and stuttering percussion are made to consort with the lean, binary belligerence of thick synth, facilitating a brazen affinity for sporadic instrumental intermissions and unabated, anarchic conclusions to many songs. Nonetheless, on other tracks, such as the requested Song About Sunshine, the very same bothersome synth, together with a zealous vocal curve, is the only guiding hand to tuneful excess, illustrating the song’s frivolity before relenting to a sedated musical escalade. In the end, the fact that TallShips, for all their ventures into countless styles and sounds, never misplace their brand of scrambled funk renders their set here unmistakeably noteworthy.
